Abstract

Diversity or richness and altitudinal distribution of subtribe Carabinae were investigated on Mt. Togyusan in Korea. Of the collected seven species belonging to 4 genera, Carabus sternbergi was the most abundant and Leptocarabus semiopacus and L. seishinensis were relatively abundant than the other species. Although species diversity and species richness indices were higher at the crown site than those at lower sites, more indivisuals were found at low sites. There were relatively more females.
